About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!
Daily Cascade

Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

Prompt:
What are your Thanksgiving plans?


.............

Since I am already in the day of Thanksgiving, right now, there are no plans. Just waiting for my son to arrive shortly.

On this Thanksgiving morning,
my heart looks toward my son

that baby who grew from hope
and smiles into a blessing won

my son, a life's work, I think,--through
love, gentle scars, laughter-- well done

and soon, today, my table will fill with
deepest gratitude, thanks, and fun.
